CALEA is the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. The Richmond Heights Police Department first became CALEA accredited in 2008 and has remained accredited since that time. In order to receive accreditation, the police department must submit to an annual policy and file assessment which are conducted by a client service manager off-site. Every four years, a site-based assessment occurs where CALEA assessors travel to the agency to determine if re-accreditation will be awarded. Each assessment includes reviews of written policies, procedures, actual practices, and inspection of city equipment and facilities. As one of the elite police agencies in the United States to have achieved advanced accredited status, the Richmond Heights Police Department takes our commitment to service and community to the next level. Our vision is to maintain the highest standards of excellence in all facets of policing. The department strives to be considered by our community and our profession as one of the premier law enforcement agencies in the nation.

Awareness is an important part of preventing threats in Missouri. We need your assistance in the fight against terrorism. Our greatest resources in the detection of suspicious activity are the citizens of Missouri. The Missouri Office of Homeland Security, in partnership with the three Missouri fusion centers, Kansas City Regional Fusion Center (KCRFC), Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC), and the St. Louis Regional Fusion Center (STLFC), have launched a new tool to instantly report suspicious activity. SafeNation is a mobile suspicious activity reporting application that allows citizens to submit anonymous reports that pertain to potentially suspicious activity observed, known or suspected. SafeNation is now available to the citizens of Missouri for download (free) in the Apple Store and Google Play. Submitted tips will be routed and addressed by the Missouri fusion centers within your area. As always, call 9-1-1 in case of an emergency. This initiative will enhance Missouri’s partnership with the US Department of Homeland Security’s See Something Say Something campaign. Please share this announcement with your citizens and within your community and respective disciplines. SafeNation App Flyer (PDF) |
